Review by Acidflame65 Dec 25, 2007
Rogue Element is outstanding simply put. If you even think you like breaks, breakbeat, big beat then get all that this guy has. Rogue Element is hands down one of the best in the buisness. Some songs are great on their own but Rogue element has an uncanny knack for making everything he touches better. His remix of "In Love With You" by the Freestylers is hands down simply amazing. Grab the Rogue rock Album and dare to tell me that it didnt make you shake your ass. I double dog dare you!

Fuck this guy is good. While a Rogue Element tune is playing, you can't even think because the giant sounds of tight drum rhythms, grinding groove-drenched guitar riffs and meticulous electronic tweaking almost takes you over completely. The influences behind this breaks-style tweaking are a kind of nu-metal rock-ey instrumentation, various mixtures of rock, hip-hop & funk beackbeats (the hot phat just pours off the decks) and smatterings of everything everywhere, which gives him a totally original sound in breakbeat. His remixes are good, but in my opinion his original tracks are better. And it's all MASSIVE. "Rogue Rock" will kidnap your soul for four and a half minutes. "Backbreaker" will make you snap your neck on the dancefloor. The care taken in his faultless production and instinctive composition is fully evident, and equally appreciated. It is clear that he loves what he does and is good at it. He takes you underground and just keeps digging. Christ, we'll be in China soon. Fucking nice one, Rogue Element - do not change your style. Grow it, develop it, move it forward, but do not change it!
